Material Sample Shop offers polycaprolactone plastic sheets and mesh. These plastic sheets and mesh have a melting point of only 60°C, which means they can be shaped by hand after a few minutes in hot water or by blowing at it with a hair dryer. They can be reheated and reshaped again and again. The sheet will stick to itself when melted and it is therefore possible to stack layers to get more rigidity. It is also used for model making and prototyping. It can be heated and applied easily on statues, figures, or other objects to reproduce the underlying geometry.

The sheet and mesh is impregnated cotton. It takes 1 to 2 minutes to heat the plastic in hot water and it stays soft for 2 to 3 minutes. You can always reheat it to soften it. Polycaprolactone is non-hazardous and biodegradable. Polycaprolactone in the form of granules is also sold under the names Shapelock (US), Polymorph (UK), Instamorph, and Friendly Plastic.

Sheets are availablin in sizes of 45 cm x 60 cm and in three different variants: heavy mesh, light mesh and thin sheets.
